ပန်း

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *baːr (“to bloom; flower”), which is perhaps an areal word (compare Proto-Hmong-Mien *bi̯aŋ (“flower”)). Cognate with Tibetan [script needed] (ḥbar-ba, “to blossom”), Old Chinese 葩 (OC *pʰraː, “flower”), 疤 (OC *praː, “scar”) (STEDT). The "red, pink" sense is derived from how the color of many flowers is pink.
